space that are being cooled: - Answer-the indirect system
the suction pressure of a reciprocating compressor is 65 PSIG. The discharge pressure
of this compressor is 120 PSIG. The atmospheric is 14.7 PSI. the compression ratio for
the given condition is closest to: - Answer-1.69
a superheated vapor is: - Answer-dry vapor above the saturation temperature
a refrigerant engineer veritifies that a condenser water pump is cavitating. Of the
following, the most likely cause for this condition is: - Answer-a faulty cooling tower
water level controller
a centrifugal water pump is known as a lift pump when the: - Answer-the water supply to
the pump suction inlet is below the pump level

,the chilled water supply to the building is 55F. If the chiller is being used for human
comfort, should you be concerned about this, and why? - Answer-Yes, this temp is too
high for human comfort purpose
the packing gland of a centrifugal pump serves to: - Answer-the drip part of the packing
gland gives evidence that there is water in the pump
capacity control of reciprocating hermetic compressor is typically achieved through -

the most important reason to sub-cool the refrigerant in the condenser is to ensure that:
- Answer-a pure liquid refrigerant will enter the metering device
A refrigeration engineer is logging readings from a reciprocating system. Compressor
discharge temperature have dropped significantly and the suction line pressure is high.
Which of the following that may be causing this set of condition? - Answer-an expansion
valve that is open to wide
a low side float valve is used to maintain: - Answer-the level of the refrigerant in the
evaporator
regarding fire safety, which ASHRAE refrigerant safety classification indicates no
flammability and lower toxicity? - Answer-A1
when an expansion valve is operating properly, at the end of the evaporator will contain:
- Answer-only superheated vapor
what information is not contained in a Material Safety Data Sheet-MSDS? - Answer-cost
of the material
in a steam turbine, what is the function of the Kingsbury thrust bearing? - Answer-
maintain axial positioning of the rotor shaft
a centrifugal water pump is considered to the fully primed when - Answer-the pump is
full of liquid
Copper tubing refrigerant lines must be installed for a new system. It is a well known
service practice that tubing collapses at bends that must be made, the refrigerant
engineer should use - Answer-level type tubing bender
A reciprocating compressor is making a knocking sound during operation. If the
refrigerant worn parts are not causing the knocking, what is the probably the cause? -
Answer-the slugging of the liquid refrigerant
, in order for a refrigerant to become superheated it must be heated in a section of the
low side refrigerant line: - Answer-where no liquid refrigerant is present
all liquid has been recovered from a system to be overhauled, the system - Answer-
should not be opened until all vapor has been recovered
when a refrigerant engineer uses a portable compressor recovery unit to remove vapor
refrigerant from a refrigeration system the removal rate of the refrigerant will gradually
slow down because - Answer-the compressor efficiency is decreasing
You are the engineer running a 2000-ton (steam driven turbine) centrifugal refrigeration
system, a refrigeration system supplies chilled water to a college campus with multiple
buildings. During the course of making your rounds, you check the 9 cell cooling tower
on the roof. You note the water level in all of the cooling tower cells is very low. Which
one of the following immediate actions would take? - Answer-add additional make up
water to cooling tower
A rooftop water cooling tower is connected to a water pump in the building basement

verifies that the electrical circuit to the motor, including all switches and circuit breakers,
is complete according to recommended service practice, the next item to be checked
would likely be the: - Answer-temperature and pressure controls
Refrigerants are characterized by their physical properties included flashpoint,
refrigeration effect, and others. Of the refrigerants in commerical and industrial the
highest latent heat and refrigerant effect is: - Answer-ammonia
on what characteristics is ASHRAE refrigerant safety group classification system: -
Answer-flammambility and toxicity
of the following, and example of an in line refrigerant cleaning system that may be used
with a centrifugal compressor containing R123 refrigerant is: - Answer-refrigerant
recycling
information about the physical and chemical properties of a hazardous material can be
found in: - Answer-Material Safety Data Sheet
what is the function of the turbine auxillary oil pump? - Answer-establish oil pressure
during turbine start up
